The winter holidays are fast approaching, but before my wee little man goes on break, I wanted to be sure to thank his pre-school teachers. Amanda and Nick are two wonderful and caring educators and they have helped my special guy adjust and thrive in school. I am giving them some cozy scarves and gift cards to a certain coffee proprietor, and I thought I would make a pair of thank you cards to go along with them.The Paper Players have a fun challenge to use your favorite color combination for a certain type of card. I have to admit that I am a sucker for tradition and I still love red for holiday cards. I especially love red and white. I began with this adorable image that I cut out from some patterned paper and then added a cut-out of an apple for him to hold. I just needed some fun paper and ribbon, along with the perfect sentiment, and I was left with two cozy cards to help a pair of deserving teachers brave the cold of winter.

So, so cute! I love the cozy feel of the plaid and the stripes are so fun and festive. The cute snowmen holding the apples are perfect. Wonderful cards to accompany very thoughtful gifts! Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week! :)
